The White House said Trump wants to thank Tammie Joe Shults, the captain of Flight 1380, First Officer Darren Ellisor and the three flight attendants aboard the Dallas-bound flight out of NY that made an emergency landing in Philadelphia.

The Southwest flight had to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia after an engine exploded, damaging the fuselage and killing a passenger who was partially sucked out of a window.

Trump later addressed the death of Jennifer Riordan, a New Mexico bank executive who was killed after being almost sucked out the flight heading to Dallas from NY on April 17.

The president offered his prayers and condolences to Riordan's husband and children, saying that from what he has heard, "she must've been a fantastic woman".
